Patna High Court Directs Demolition of Waqf Bhawan Constructed Close to the High Court Building by a 4:1 Judgement
Live LawThe Patna High Court, by a 4:1 judgement, has directed the demolition of a structure being constructed close to the northern side of the newly inaugurated Centenary Building of the High Court. The Patna Municipal Corporation has stated that as permission was not required, the plan for construction of the Patna High Court building was not submitted to it by the concerned Department at any point in time. Interim Order Given the proximity of the structure to the High Court building, the said construction was probable of posing severe security concerns for Judges, lawyers, litigants, staff and security personnel alike. Placing a pause on the construction activity, the Court passed interim order noting that, "Such construction was in clear breach of Bye-law 21 of the Bihar Building Byelaws, 2014 which prohibits the existence of any building exceeding 10 feet in height within 200 meters radius of the boundary of important buildings including the High Court."
